Aeration Systems

The OxyPro 1000 is an innovative wastewater treatment unit designed to handle flows up to 500 gallons per day. It combines the best design components of modern aeration methods and avoids unnecessary complexity in both installation and operation. The OxyPro is suitable for installation in new septic systems as well as an addition to existing systems in order to increase the capacity of the disposal area.

There are several advantages to using the OxyPro Wastewater Treatment system:

Extending the life of a disposal area
Reducing the required size of the disposal area
Removal of nitrates in the wastewater
Reduced risk of environmental pollution

OxyPro is designed with the owner in mind. All outside components are buried out of sight, and the control and blower enclosures may be mounted inside in a storage or utility space. OxyPro is quiet, inexpensive to operate, and requires little maintenance. Each unit is constructed using the highest quality materials and methods to ensure reliability and longevity. Aeration Systems, LLC warrantees each unit for an initial two-year period and offers a variety of extended service contracts.

The OxyPro Wastewater Treatment system is available in a variety of models:

The Oxypro comes standard in a concrete tank for ease of installation on most sites, but is also available in plastic tanks for difficult sites where access is limited.
The OxyPro is available with a gravity or pumped outlet, depending on the site requirements.
The Oxypro can be supplied with all of the headworks necessary to be used with a pressurized drip irrigation disposal system.
Where disinfection of the wastewater is required prior to disposal, a sterilizing ultraviolet unit is available.

For people seeking a quality cost-effective solution to wastewater treatment, OxyPro is the best choice.

The Process

Septic Tank ....

Wastewater from the house flows into a septic tank sized according to State Code. In the septic tank, settling occurs with the formation of sludge and scum. This material is removed periodically by a pump truck. Clarified wastewater flows through a filter and into the OxyPro tank.

Aeration Treatment Unit ....

The first (inlet) compartment of the OxyPro tank is the aeration compartment. Air is pumped under pressure from an efficient, linear-diaphragm pump through flexible-membrane bubble diffusers anchored to the bottom of the tank. This creates a number of curtains of tiny air bubbles, which allow for excellent oxygen transfer efficiency. Through this process of aeration, an aerobic environment is established in which oxygen-loving microorganisms can flourish and digest the organic material in the wastewater. These microorganisms grow on a synthetic ribbon media suspended in the water column and form large colonies, visible to the naked eye. Eventually, these colonies become too large and heavy, and due to the agitation caused by aeration, slough off. The sloughed colonies are carried by the wastewater into the next compartment.

The second compartment is designed as an upflow clarifier. This means that the wastewater is given a calm environment where it flows slowly upward to the outlet. The quiescent environment allows the sloughed colonies and other suspended particles to settle to the bottom of the clarifier. A submersible pump periodically pumps the accumulated sludge from the bottom of the clarifier to the septic tank, where it is ultimately removed when the septic tank is serviced. The return of this water to the anaerobic carbon-rich environment of the septic tank also serves to enhance denitrification, typically resulting in a 50% reduction of total nitrogen. The cleaned and clarified effluent from the OxyPro flows out of the treatment module and on to a subsurface disposal area.

The operation of the OxyPro is fully automated and controlled by a programmed computer module. This control panel operates the pumps and blower, and is equipped to detect a mechanical failure of the blower, as well as unusual water levels in the tank. In the event of such a problem, the panel is equipped with both audio and visual alarms to alert the owner. Remote alarms are also available to alert Aeration Systems representatives directly.
